We've Got No Trust Fund

Hello, we're York People's Assembly. We bring together the city's most important anti-cuts and anti-sell-off campaigns, and together we make the case against austerity in our city and nationally.

And when we started this fundraising appeal, we had no more money to help us do that. We don't have a trust fund squirrelled away in Panama or the Cayman Islands. Now we have funds to keep going - all thanks to our wonderful supporters, like you!

Still want to give? You still can!

The money you've given will enable us to: - Back the 'Bring Back Bootham Park' demo by paying for publicity and other materials. - Back the rising 'Rescue Our Schools' anti-academies campaign locally, taking the risk out of booking a public meeting venue for a parent-led campaign. - React to situations as they arise: if the last year has taught us anything, its to expect the unexpected!

We're very lucky to be able to operate so cheaply - we have about the cheapest imaginable printing deal (and its still recycled papers and non-toxic inks!), and we have our own sound equipment, meaning we don't have to hire it in.

We know that not everyone can give us money - plenty of people give us support in lots of other ways, and we're incredibly grateful to them. But right now, if you're one of the people who can give us money, we really need you to play your part.

We've passed £500! I'm so amazed and thankful at the generosity of everyone. The appeal is still open for any more donations people want to add, but we're definitely safe to keep campaigning for the foreseeable future.

Your donations will ensure that we can provide support to campaigns against Academisation and for an urgent reinstatement of mental health services lost when Bootham Park shut, amongst other campaigns. All this, and more, is up for discussion at our meeting on Monday 25th April, 7.30pm at Quaker Meeting House, Friargate, YO1 9RL. We hope to see you there.

A huge thank you to everyone who's given us donations so far. We'll be able to publicise and provide materials for the Bring Back Bootham demo - but we need more so we can support the anti-Academies campaign, too.
